Campaign idea: "Hard to be a Wolf" -- roll up Traveller characters and drop them into Wolves Upon the Coast as offworlder scientists with a non-intervention mandate

Being trans online means I moderate my spaces by default. I would suggest anyone who wants to be an "ally" or whatever in the year of our lord, be proud in moderating your spaces, even youtube comments. Make it clear that people are safe in your spaces. Without moderation, there is no peace.

experimenting with writing NPCs for crime wave

Been researching some stuff for Crime Wave and came across the story of Dr. Alan Hart Happy Pride, y'all

experimenting with writing NPCs for crime wave

Cults and mysticism was big in the 1920s Thinking about a scenario involving two warring factions of magicians hiring goons to sabotage one another

Been thinking about this and I wholeheartedly agree, there really isn't that many straightforward crime games available. Those that are out there usually have a fantastical bent to them or some kind of twist that takes them in another direction.

"a goofy movie": a humble title. why it's not even necessarily "the" goofy movie. we simply, respectfully offer you this story for your consideration "doug's 1st movie": the hubris of icarus. the unbridled audacity to imply that this is only the 1st chapter of the Doug Cinematic Universe. pathetic

Gonna put this on the page for Crime Wave

pls consider the following

I have warmed up to playtesting recently, it's just fun to try out bullshit at the table with friends. But I still think some people playtest their games to death and internalize too much outside feedback.

Friends ❤️

It's interesting to me how many folks still purchase and download old versions of Setting Sun, even though they all link to Tombstone Edition. Saddlebag Edition far exceeds them all as far as traction goes.

Fleshed out Notoriety to include a Classic Traveller style legal roll!

Less into ttrpgs as complete, tightly designed experiences and more into big bags of toys. Toys can suggest a variety of ways to play, but are ultimately not opinionated about what you do. Classic Traveller is fantastic at this. I'm trying to capture a little bit of that with Night Tripper.

The toybag school of RPG design remains undefeated imo

The most antifascist RPG is the one you run at your table, and where you forcefully eject anybody who turns out to be of fascist sympathy.
